From Aunt Mary

Hi Vava!

Just wanted to say hello! I’ve been thinking and sending up good thoughts and prayers during these past weeks for you. I’ve printed out a beautiful picture of you that I have on my bulletin board. Your dad tells me that you’ve been going to school when you’re feeling good. I’m sure your classmates are happy to see you!

How’s Tink?

Take care and I love you!

From Judy Valyo

I just read Vava's blog and wanted to send her my support. I've never met Vava personally but have heard so many great stories about her from Setelo. Please let her know that I'm thinking and praying for her during these "icky times."

Please also send my love to Marty & Ki. And last, but not least, to you and all of the extended Cole family, I send all my love and support.

Be well......Love, Judy Valyo

Hey Vavastic!

The hair cut is superb! And it's great to see a smile on your face. I just returned from a trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico where I got to play in the snow and in the sun only to return with a nasty, nasty cold so until it's all cleared up, I shan't come see you. Bummer!

But know that my thoughts are with you daily and I hope your continued treatment and recovery go as planned. It must be great to be home!

Can't wait to see you when I'm over this bug!

Take care,
Gretchen

From Cousin Ann in Redding

What a sultry new do, Vava! You look like a "vamp" from the 40's (I think, as I wasn't alive at the time). Glad you're home. We will keep checking in to your blog site!

From Cousins R.B. and Carol in Mineral

Hi Vava ... A couple of Photos of your trip to Mineral years ago. One with cousin Jeannie McClellan on her horse, one with the group helping me clear out Rocks where our yard was to be, and one showing how the same areas looked last summer, oh and a silly one of your Mom. Tell your Mom & Dad to bring you to Mineral again when you are done with all of this. We are thinking about you a lot. Uncle Rock, Uncle Don, Ann & Fred and everyone else here related to you say Hello Hello. ... Love cuz RB
